Mein lieber Mann und ich

For her husband, who has become famous as an actor, Angelika is the go-to girl. For years, she stands in his shadow. The only things they do together are premiere parties and receptions. Angelika, who is becoming increasingly frustrated, finally wants a satisfying occupation with which she can gain recognition. But this is where the problems really begin for the couple.

Directed by Klaus Gendries, Mein lieber Mann und ich leans on a strong ensemble — Angelica Domröse, Klaus Piontek, Ernst Kahler — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1975.
